CROPS IN THE UP-COUNTRY.-An esteemed .correspondent writes to THE NEWS from Pendle? ton May 17 : "We hereabouts are being greatly .distressed for want of rain. Not a season for up? wards of three weeks. Wheat on thin land not half a crop, and oats, except sown In the faU and good land, entirely cut off, I fear. Many farmers not done planting corn, and the ground so hard "that lt cannot be ploughed or planted. Irish po? tatoes very poor, and no appearance of the sweet. Many gardens failing rapidly. Much cotton on ?tiff land not np, nor can lt get np tul a good fall .of rain, ir ever. Some showers pass round, but so far as I have understood, very light. We had tifcht frosts on the mornings of the 12th and lSth." * EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETT OF THB UNITED STATES, NEW YORK.-We observe from our exchanges of Atlanta and Columbus, .Ga, that the society aboved named has Just paid a life Insurance policy in each of the places named. Yesterday the general agent. Mr. W. B. 'Shaw, paid to Mrs. Stewart, widow of our late fellow-citizen, Hanry W. Stewart, tea thousand .dollars, the amount for which he was assured. Mr. Stewart had been dead bat a few weeks, and lt ls by such promptness as this that this great society has gamed sncha hold on onr people. We ought to state that Mr. O. A. Bowen, of the house of James Adger A Co., ls the resident agent tn.thts city._ j * 1 A Nsw SENSATION ON MEETING 8TREHT.- I Yesterday witnessed the first determined effort to ' lay the dost oa Meeting street, between Broad and the battery. The residents along the line have subscribed a sufficient amount to induce Mr. Teppe to turn his water oarts ia that direction, and the dust lu that portion of the city was effect uaiiy squelched. The constant travel of the street .oars raises probably more dust than the few pass? ing vehicles, and If the company would run a water cart of their own on the ta ack, it would keep the bed of the^road moist and prevent pas? sengers from being aggravated, their tempers soured, and their clothes soiled by the horrid dust. REAjf ESTATE SALES.-Messrs. Leitch & Bruns sold yesterday a one and a half story store, rwlth two story building In the rear, on tue south aide or Tradd street, near King, for $600.

' _ THE PBABOET FUND.-At the meeting of the ?Colombia City Council Tuesday, Alderman Wal Aaec, from the Committee on City Schools, re? ported a conversation with Mr. Sears, who had been to Columbia to inquire into tbe management of the Peabody fund. He said that Mr. Sears ex? pressed great satisfaction with the management .or the fund; that tue fund was not intended for the maintenance or pauper schools, but for the .support of all olassess and conditions or children. Alderman Wallace said he Inquired or Mr. Sears il the Peabody schools were established for the .?ducation of white children only, and was in? formed that they were not. He also stated that Hr. JUlson, State superintendent of education, bad suggested that if the- city authorities would .erect a suitable building, the Peabody fond, with a little assistance from the State, would be suffi - .clent to edncate au the children ia the city. The object of Mr. Sears's visit was to confer with the State and city authorities la reference to the pro? per handling of the educational rands. Alder? man Wlgg also gave seme information ia relation to the matter, and said that the Peabody rand i had been very Improperly' controlled In the past. He exonerated the ex-aldermen from all blame, as fee lund had not been under their control. CAUGHT IN THE TOILS.-John ?ord, a col? ored boy, In the employ or Mr. F. F. Chapeau, at his saddlery establishment on Mee tin g street, was arrested yesterday and committed to Jail r>v Trial Jua tice T. J. Mackey, tor robbing bis em? ployer. Suspicion was aroused by the frequent loss of money, and John was on several occasions seen in close proximity to the safe. As nothing was known prejudicial to him, a snare was laid by marking certain bills, which, during a tempo? rary absence or those in the store, were reduced by one. Ford subsequently lent the bill to one of the mea who desired to borrow that amount. Another trial led to the loss or three two dollar b?ls. . Ford was oharged with the theft, bat in? dignantly denied the accusation; his guilt was, however, clearly proved on searching him, for the missing bills were found m his pocket. A search of his premises led to the disco very of a number of stolen articles, Including table linea and other property belonging to the Mills House. One of the walters employed at that hotel was implica? ted as the accomplice and arrested. It appears that a systematic plan or robbery had been pursued by the confederates for some time, as toej had an account at bank, and evi? dently turned their plunder into ready money as soon as possible. The exact amounts stolen are not yet ascertained.

Every merchant and business man should have his card printed on his envelopes. MBS. O ?TES IX XE?T YORK. Mrs. Oates and her company, reversing the usual order of tldngs dramatic in this country, hav? ing first achiev'Xlan enviable fame in thc "provin? cial" theatres of the South and West, have gone, conquering and to conquer, on the ' Metropoli? tan" boards, 'Che company made its first appear? ance at the Olympic Theatre on Monday night. Our Academy of Music liabituis Will read with in? terest the following from the critic of the New York World: Now we have a little woman coming with an old burlesque, who ls not an actress, and not a blonde, and who has not been putted. Her .bur? lesque is an old one that everybody has seen, but she comes for the first time" with the spirit of American humor in her entertainment, and won last Dight the tribute of unbounded laughter. WI.ac was advertised as "The Fair one with the Blonde Wig" toms ont to bc the old extravagan? za of the "Invisible Prince;*' but upon this old thread were sn ung all the variety business which for a long time has been the sole property of the min?i rel troupes, and which in the best of them, such as the Buckley's,came nearer to the embodi? ment of the peculiar and characteristic American extravagance than anything ever attempted upon oar stage. Thc Oates troupe made its appeal last night unequivocally and boldly to that sense of the ridiculous which burlesque seems lately to have overlooked, if, Indeed, lt ever understood it. Mrs. J. *A. Oates herself ls a diminutive body, not' surpassingly beautiful, and not even up in stage business, but she won her audience at once by the ingenuous, almost childish grace and vivacity with which she entered into the broad, rollicking fun of the entertainment, and disre? garded all the traditional theatrical manouvres of travesty actresses. Nothing could .well be fresher and freer than the girlish abandonment and naive grace which characterized her from the moment slr; entered. To this most be added the welcome fact that sha possesses a remarkable voice for so small a body, and sang not only with miraculous org in, bat with an amount of culture seldom Indeed met with on the burlesque stage. Indeed, la this particular, the troupe distinguished itself. The solos and chor? uses were all old and familiar airs, some of them worn to death years ago; but, aa though to show that the manner and not the mat? ter was everything, the latter were given with full dlstrlbutioi or the parts, and with a vigor that would astonish some of our operatic pla? toons. To show how the audience took the humor of the piece, it is only necessary to say that lt roared with laughter from parquette to topmost private box, forgetting entirely that it had seen the tilings before in the absorbing interest at see? ing them done more humorously than ever be? fore. The ene episode of the Boston Peace Festi? val, in which Mr. Hernandez assumes the charac? ter of Gilmore, created a more decided and un? controllable uproar of merriment ihan any? thing we have witnessed since the advent of Captain Crosstree at the Fifth Avenue Theatre; and the subs?quent tricks of the Japanese produced mu:h the same effect. To sum? marize, the new burlesque troupe-it ls the best musical organization of the kind that has made an appeal to the burlesque-loving pub? lic; tt hos cut loose from most of the traditions of burlesque Imported here from abroad, and thrown itself upon that order of illegitimate and extrava? gant humor which best pleases the Americans; and ft has gathered into one triviality all the mirth-provoking features of extravaganza, and excluded the leg business and the walk 'round, its success last night was unmistakable. Better summer burlesque could not be offered ; and to? night the theatre will be thronged by those who have been walting a half year for a new opportu? nity to laugh. Even moro complimentary is the Herald, which says : Mrs. Oates's troupe ls one of the finest order, and the performance last evening surprised os. The ecomlums passed upon the acting of the members of the company by the press of large cities through which they have passed, have been la all cases compllmentary-lnsome even extrava? gant. We are convinced that these favorable crit? icisms were truly deserved, and that the applause the various actors last evening received ls but Justly due. To Mrs. Oates must be accorded the honor of holding the flrst position by merit, as well as by name, In the troupe, and we might add, upon the burlesque stage. She has the first requi? site for a successful burlesque actress-beauty of face and figure. She ls active and painstaking and of most captivating manners. Uer very laugh ls contagious and her voice melodious In the extreme. Of her singing we can speak in the highest praise. The range of her voice ls extraordinary. She gives the lower notes with extreme ease and clearness, and the higher ones-even the high C with extraordinary force. It is truly gratifying to be able to speak of a burlesque in such high terms, when so many of late have acquired ficti? tious reputations by mere subterfuge. Mr. J. H. Chattersen, the tenor of the troupe, ls also possess? ed of a fine voice, and as he ls yet a young man, we trust he win study hard te relieve himself of many defects la the management of his voice, and thus become what it is capable or making him-an artist of first-class'ability. The other artists acted their parts creditably; and we con? gratulate the manager of the Olympic Theatre on na vi og produced the best burlesque and the finest iroupe or performers ever seen upon the metro? politan stage. The Standard says : Mrs. Oates, who, we believe, is altogether new to this city, sings well and ls saucy-two indis pensable virtues in the successful burlesque ac? tress. She makes the footlights her fireside, and the cupola of the theatre ls the roof-tree beneath which she ls at home. Her voice is stronger than it is sweet, and the plentifulness of the songs ena? ble her to give the audience a great deal of lt. It is interesting to reflect that Mrs. Oates's ciaims to merit are not tonsorial. Whatever her attrac? tion may be, lt ls not capillary, and ir "beauty draws us by a single hair," we do not care whether the filament ls brown, blonde or red. "The Fair One"' will be repeated throughout the week. THE ROLLER SEATING RINK in the upper hail,of the Academy of Music building has already become the fashionable resort on alter? nate afternoons and evenings. Few beholders of the graceful and exciting sport can resist the temptation to venture their weight on the treach? erous rollers; and the number ot learners-ladles os well as gentlemen-who have already become tolerably expert in the pastime, ls really surpris? ing. Mr. Glover, the polite proprietor of the rink, and bis assistants, are untiring in their ef? forts to make everybody as happy as it is possi? ble to be upon a rapid rolling basis, and it must he said that they succeed marvelously wei!. PICNIC OK THE METHODIST SUNDAY-SCHOOLS. The schools connected with Trinity, Bethel and the Spring street Methodist Churches, met yester? day morning at the Ann street depot for the pur? pose of enjoying a union picnic at the Schutzen platz. The cars speedily conveyed them to the pleasure grounds, and the day was passed joy? ously by both the little ones and their chaperons. The baskets of the party were taken in charge by the elders, and at dinner time a bounteous repast was spread, which was vigorously attacked and speedily disappeared. After dinner thc games were resumed until near the hour fer returning, when the children were called together and short addresses made by the Rev. J. T. Wightman and Mr. Wannamaker. There were between 1200 and 1500 persons at the picnic, over two-thirds of whom were children. Each school was well re? presented, and the union picnic was a decided success. CRUMPS.-A white sailor, somewhat under the influence of liquor, was arrested yesterday afternoon by seme colored policemen. As the cortege passed down Meetiag street lt attracted considerable attention, and though the prisoner was very violent and seemed determined to give trouble, the police 'did not use their clubs, but took him up bodily, and, one behind and two be? fore, carried him straight to the Guardhouse dtor. Arrangements have been made for a celebra? tion of the Fifteenth amendment, en the 2l3t, at Oakley Depot, Northeastern Railroad, when speeches will be made by the office-holders of the Republican party. Isaac Waite and Abraham Brown, both colored, were sent to jail yesterday by Trial Justice Mac? key, for beating a colored woman named Marian Snipe. Alderman Barrow, the "inspector-general of timber and lumber," was indignant yesterday, because bis Inspectors were not allowed to meas? ure some lumber at the west end or Broad street, the owner objecting to the extortionate rate. A policeman was applied for to enable him to en - 'orce his demands, but he was informed that the force was not at his disposal for such purposes. BUSINESS NOTICES.

FOR THE BLACK FISH BANKS.-The disciples of Izaak Walton can enjoy the pleasure of captur? ing the best fish that swim, by embarking on the steamer Samson, on Wednesday next, and speadlng the day at the Black Fish Banks. Every accommodation Ls famished. In Memoriam. Died, at Unionville, on the 20th March last, the Hon. THOMAS N. DAWKINS-a name for many years connected closeiy with the history of the State; a man for an his time honored by those who respected the high qualities 'or which he was distinguished: beloved by those who came within the inner circle in which his social and domestic character shed its brightest light, and over which the warm inspirations of his heart exercised a happy, hallowed influence. He was a man of the State and- Tor the State. Born and reared amid the historic circumstances which, fro rivi seo to 1860, trained the mind and de? veloped the character of those who In that period came forward to play their part tn life's great theatre, he entered early upon public duty, and soon appeared in the councils of the State, tte representative of those among whom he was born, with whom he was to live, and by whom be was borne to his last resting place. In those connells men were assembled who' al? ready had achieved reputations-while others, with him, were entering in the race they were to run. For him lt was not a mere experiment. Success had vouchsafed itself with the earliest exhibition he gave of his powers. And at the close of the first session of the Legislature of which he was a member, there came to him the admiration, respect and confidence of all with whom he served. It conld not have been otherwise. His4nstlnct and purposes were pure and unsullied; his judg? ment was calm, impartial and merciful. He was recognized as one who would not sitoop to flatter or deceive, and who had fixed a standard for himself In his own high conscient .eus discharge of duty. His style of speaking was calm, addressed to the reasou of those who heard him; and so entire? ly given to the consideration of :hlngs. that lt never provoked those asperities in. debate which result from, the reference to persons. And with bim triumph in debate was the tri? umph of truth, not of the speaker. Appreciative of the good opinion of those who were near him, he had no desire for mere compliment. Vf hen truth and justice were vindicated. In that his pride was gratified. He was merciful and kind In hts judgments of men. However he illirered-and he lived in times when differences in opinion produced bitter feel' logs-with him such differences never affected his feelings towards or judgment of others. For he was eminently charitable-to be so was with bim a catholic spirit. With his high ability-with hts higher virtues he commanded the respect or all. From his seat in the Legislature he was transferred to the responsible duty of State counsel, as one of the solicitors; and no one ever, In the exercise or Its duties, more faith Tully performed the 'arge functions of his office. In that office, refusing to recognize the unworthy distinction of success in thc conviction of the accused, as the inducement ror his conduct, he prosecuted when hlB even tempered reason satisfied him that justice, public justice, required the punishment of the offender. No popular outcry could force him to convict against his own sense of right, still less influence him to desist, if to proceed was to him the course of duty. Such qualities pointed to him ns one who should receive that highest of all trusts, the commission of a judge. And when lt came to him he accepted it as the evidence of the confidence of his State. Never did the Judicial robe fall on the shoulder of any one more fitted to bear it worthily. And In the brief career allotted to him In this depart? ment, he Justified, in every manner, the selection which had been made. How, In the convulsion which followed the close of the war, he, with the other judge3, was re? moved, ls familiar to all. To say that he chafed under this blow ls but to say that he was a man-and a man of the State and a man of the State who had discharged Its highest trust, without fear, favor or affection. His State-the State he loved-the State that honored him, had been struck In the blow under which he fell. And lt may be given to all tonn derstand how, while the hands or those In power tore from him his robe, their feet trampled down the laws he bad lived to administer. He was a judge; he had outlived the law; what then was life? To him thenceforth lt was In that home, where the kindliest affections clustered around all who were under Its shelter, to those who in that home were its household deities, who made lt the cen? tre of a refined hospitality, a temple In which there was constant sacrifice to all the virtues that elevate and adorn. It would be a moral sacrilege to Bay more. To think of that home, of those who have been there, of that one so true tn her devotion to him, still there, and then or him dead and of him no longer there, ls to picture to ourselves a change then which none can be sadder. Who can forget the smile, the grasp, the welcome that greeted ea^h friend or guest who crossed the threshold of that home? Deep, too deep, the Iron had entered his heatt; but no complaint fell from him. To the discharge of his private duties he gave all his care. To pro? vide for those he loved, to prepare them for his loss, to leave them so guarded that they would not suffer, became his great and consuming care. And he died In thc effort; died true to his con? victions or duty; died as he had lived, beloved, honored and respected. Some-perhaps not many-yet live who wit- . nessed his advent, watched his course, and still Pvc to have seen him as he passed from the sight of mau, and sunk Into rest. Their testimony will more than sustain all that has been said. He was too good a man to wish to die before the time that was appointed. But when that time came; when he had guarded against trouble those whom be dearly loved, he was ready. The State in which he was born, In which his highest and purest purposes were associated, had ceased to bc. As one of its ministers and honored sons he had seen it trampled and borne down. And with lt fell his hope-his pride-his life. Tribute of Respect. At a special meeting of the Fellowship So? ciety, held on Wednesday evening, May 18th, the following preamble and resolutions were unani? mously adopted, as a tribute or respect to the memory of their late president, Hon. RICHARD YEADON: To commemorate the virtues of the dead, to linger fondly over the recollections of past friend? ship, and to drop the tear of affection over the graves of departed loved ones, belong to thc finest reelings or our nature. Revelation teaches that we are born to die, to be raised again to everlast? ing life, and that our existence herc ls only pre? paratory ti that better and noble;' state of being where there ls no death-when the loved ones, removed but not lost, shall be reunited, to part no more rorever; and however consoling this may be, and mo.st assuredly ls, to the stricken heart, yet nature must be indulged in pouring forth her j lamentations In the sad hour of bereavement, i Nor ls this Incompatible with the teachings or Christianity. Jesus wept over the grave or his departed rrlend, and well may we be permitted to mingle our tears over the grave of one whom we loved and esteemed so much. Our friend and companion, the head of our as? sociation ror many long years, has been taken from us by the relentless hand or death. RICH? ARD YEADON, president or the Fellowship Society, has presided ror the last time over our rrlendly and social meetings. He was born on the 23d or October, 1802; was admitted a member or the So? ciety March 4th, 1829. or which his grandrather and rather, each bearing the same name as him? self, had been members, the latter having served two years as president. The first year arter his admission he was elect? ed junior warden, a marked evidence by the members or their high appreciation or his talents and ability. In March, 1833, he was elected senior warden, In which office he servod until the death ?r the lamented president, Colonel Charles John Steedman, in 1833, when he was unanimous? ly chosen to supply the vacancy; and from that time to the hour of his death he filled the respon? sible and honorable onice of president, to which he was annually re-elected, comprising a period ot thirty-two years. To say he was devoted to thc Society, ls to say but little. He gave his time, his money, his splen? did talents, his untiring energy, to the promotion of Its Interests; and the welfare of the distressed widows and orphans of his deceased brethren was ever dear to his heart. Indeed, he was always ready to manifest his sympathy for the afflicted, and his tender and loving heart delighted to min? ister to the wants of the destitute. While engaged in the absorbing and important duties of his pro? fession, or answering the call of his country by devoting his energies to the honest and faithful discharge of the public trusts committed to him as a legislator, he always found time to answer the cry of distress, and "his hand was open as day to melting charity." His brethren of the legal profession have spoken of his great ability as a jurist; of his faithfulness and indefatigable exertions as an advocate; of his forensic eloquence and legal acumen;.of his earnest love of truth and justice; and his pastor has borne testimony of bis love for the church of h's fathers, and of his zeal In her caus". Let it be ours to bear In mind his deeds of charity and benevolence; his love for this Society, which ani? mated him to the very close of a long and honor? able life; how much he added to the social enjoy? ment of our meetings by ."ila fund of anecdote, and his promotion of good "fellowship," and to moarn over the loss we have sustained by his de? mise. Yet "we sorrow not even as others who have no hope," but anticipate a reunion in anoth? er and better world, being well assured that "them alBO which sleep In Jesus, will God bring with him." Resolved, unanimously. That by the death of the HON. RICHARD YEADON, the community gene? rally have lost a learned jurist, a ralthful advo? cate, a true patriot and a devoted friend to his country; the widow and orphan a kind and mu? nificent friend; while the Fellowship Society has been deprived of a beloved president, who pre? sided over their deliberations for a generation, who was entitled to and received the affection of the members, and whose memory we shall ever cherish with the proudest recollection. Resolved, unanimously, That a page of the Min? ute Bool: be dedicated to his memory, and that the gavels of the officers and the portrait of our deceased president be draped in mourning until the next anniversary. Resolved, unanimously, That in token of our deep and heartfelt condolenece with his bereaved widow, a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to her. CAMPBELL DOUGLAS, Secretary. irnncrol BTotices.

Mrs. MARY KANAPACX, wife of John T. Kanapaux, and daughter of the late James White, aged 34 years, 3 months and 26 days. We have seldom been called upon to record the departure from our midst of one more endeared to the social circle by every attribute of friendship, affection and regard. In all the relations of life she was devoted, self sacrificing and sincere, and by a censtitutional vivacity and cheerfulness, illuminating where ever the shadow of care had obtruded the most obscure recesses of that little world, to which her labor of love was, by the ordinance of Providence, necessarily restricted. Shrinking from all notoriety, with a retiring modesty characteristic of her sensitive nature, she bloomed like the humble violet whose fra? grance reaches us. though we see it not, but which is caught by each awaiting zephyr and wafted beyond the confines of la humble bed, as Incense sweet to Heaven. With those endowments most calculated to strengthen the silver cords of love and render the void occasioned by her loss one which time can never HU, we can only derive consolation from the assurance of her eternal gain, and the prospect of a happier reunion in that brighter world to which her undeviating faith and Chris? tian virtues have ever pointed us. Cheered also by the knowledge of a more spirit? ual association, we reconcile ourselves to the separation of this temporal bond, and though we are here made to feel "there are links which muBt break In the chain which has bound UB," there ls a golden cord of spiritual affinity and union which binds us more closely to the depart? ed objects of our love, for "there ls no death what seems so is transition." Sorely tried by the afflictions and sufferings of life, she bore.her allotted cross with meakness and cheerfulness, her only anxiety being that she might fail In her appointed task; and we feel that for her, death had no terrors, as he had no sting, for nono has he called more ready to re? spond, or more willing to meet thc inevitable summon that awaits us all* We feel that He, in whom she has ever trusted, has only loosed her tender and failing hands Trom the rock to which she here clang, that He might raise her above the troubled waters of this life, and receive her to His parental bosom. Gone to thy Father; o'er thy gentle head The stor?u hath swept, os o'er a willow bough Gone to thy Father; all thy tears are shed, Thy task ls finished now. * T. O. S.

BROWNE. ^THRICE ARMED !-THRICE IS HE armed who keeps within reach of his hand a speclflc that at one and the same time will strengthen, regulate and purify his system when enfeebled, disordered and corrupted. Such ls the three-fold operation of HOSTET TERS STOMACH BITTERS, and hence the great superiority of that standard vegetable restorative over all medicines that are merely tonics and nothing else. The effect of the ordinary astrin? gent tinctures and extracts upon the bowels ls disastrous, and upon the depraved blood or bile they produce no beneficial effects whatever. In dyspepsia and liver complaint all the fluids and humors of the body are more or less infected, and the bowels are often badly constipated. An un? modified astringent-quinine for instance-docs Infinitely more harm than good in such cases. In HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, on the other hand, the stimulating and tonic elements are qualified with aperients and antiseptic Ingredients. The finest laxatives and blood depuren ts In the vegetable kingdom are Intermixed with those of a purely invigorating nature, and under the operation or this admirable combination, the three Important processes of Invigoration, regulation and puri? fication go on together. The rapidity with which the disordered organization returns to its natural condition, nnder a course of the Bitters, ls due to this cause. Every disturbed function of the body ls favorably affected by the various properties of this comprehensive and well balanced prepara? tion. As a general rule the bowels are more sub? ject to irregularities, and the fluids more liable to become vitiated In spring and summer than In winter, and hence the Bitters are especially valu? able as a spring and summer alterative, correc? tive and invlgorant. At all seasons where the seeds of intermittent fevers infect the air. this healthful vegetable elixir should be taken as a protective medicine. may20-6D*c - ^ADMINISTRATOR'S NOITCE. -ALL persons indebted to the late GEORGE F.
